Wallpaper* Custom Covers returns

Readers of Wallpaper* will be able to design and receive their own cover for the August Handmade issue of the international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine.

Building on the success of last year’s Custom Covers initiative, readers can play art director with an improved Custom Covers tool, as well as create a personalised Rolex advertisement that will appear on the back cover.

Readers who register will have access to an online cover application until 31 May, which they can use to create their own masterpiece using a brand-new palette of graphics, shapes, colours and photography. New to the app this year is a selection of eye-boggling, animated designs to add to the covers. As well as receiving their cover bound to their copy of the August issue, readers will find all personalised designs added to the Custom Cover gallery at Wallpaper.com.

In the Rolex ‘Live for Greatness’ advertisement, readers can select one of two watches to be the focus for the back-cover ad on their copy of August Wallpaper*, and then make the page truly personal by inputting a date that means something – or everything – to them. This date will appear on the face of their chosen timepiece next to the line ‘Some days are made for greatness’.

Editor-in-chief Tony Chambers says: “Custom Covers is back – by popular demand. This year, it is even better and enables our readers to get even more creative.”

Wallpaper* publishing director Gord Ray says: “Our last Custom Covers project was incredible, with more than 21,000 unique covers created – and delivered. This time, we have an even better design tool, and the back-cover ad from our partner Rolex really adds to the interactive, bespoke experience.”

Both subscribers and non-subscribers can design their bespoke covers by registering now at www.wallpaper.com.

The August issue goes on sale 14 July.
